🇮🇳 IAF Su-30MKI’s Being Equipped with I-Derby and Astra BVRAAM Missiles
- We’re going to need an early and late version when the aircraft is added to the game. The latest version offers so many different weapons of Western/Indigenous/Israeli origin to include the Litening pod, Spice 2000’s, Astra’s, MICA’s (Tested), Kh-29’s, Bramhos, I-Derby’s, and more. The actual Jack-of-all-Trades of aircraft (which would make a good emblem to come with the aircraft).

The only helicopter that can realistically be added would be the Danish Fennec, with Tow missiles. As for the UH-60’s both the Swedish and Norwegian models can equip 4 hellfires but they dont use them. Gaijin could add the UH-60 to replace the AHS but it would just cause people to only have a heli tree that goes to 10.3-10.7
I would love this if Gaijin actually bothered about making low tier helicopters usable (<4km missile armed helis against SACLOS and IR spaa is absurd) or made a proper helicopter game mode that doesn’t bore you to death, this thing wont be anything more than a cool 3d model to look at
I think no.
there is a plan of arm it with missile when it’s still in developing, its FCS already has this function. but due to unknow reason, it’s canceled.
it's planned to use a 10km FNF missile
a model was made in prototype stage, you can see the difference between the produced version
but the idea now reborn in LD-35 series.

That’s what they get for not going for the XM1302 which met all the requirements. As for the A-10…depressing but it is time for it to go. Munitions far exceed the A-10’s capabilities which is hard to say because it’s a cool af plane.

It’s time to reopen the M551 😂
If the management was smarter, they could have sold them instead of scrapping them. But, there is what there is
Looks very strange
Gotta love how we can’t seem to stick with a promising project or a project that shouldn’t have been selected to begin with “coughs in M10 Booker even though XM1302 passed all requirements”

waaaait, if Im reading this right they’re axing:
- the M113 replacement. (AMPV)
- XM30, The bradley replacement programme. (OMFV)
- Stryker entirely? Who needs a rapid reaction force anyway?
- M1E3 appears to be safe? But SEPv4 being canned is old news?
- Light & Medium weight helicopter replacement. (FLARA & FARA)
- Infantry rifle and MG replacement (NGSW)
- gutting DoD Schools (English Language schools that do US qualifications in places with bases like Japan or Germany) & Commissaries (On base stores that sell american goods) is going to smother morale in deployments lmao
How old is this anyway?
Ooooooo, did more digging, this is a ss from a 2 year old “think” tank suggestion, don’t take it for gospel.

Shenyang J-35
A true fifth generation multi-role jet devolped by the shenyang aerospace corporation . first unvield back during 2012 october 31st under the designation “FC-31” which lost to the chengdu j20. development continued under shenyang despite competition loss to chengdu ,to only recently now by late 2024 to be publicly revealed as "j35 ", a multi purpose jet to fulfil the chinese navys next generation aircraft requirement which it does flawlessly ,aswell as filling in the role as a support aircraft for the plaafs j20s, being a cheaper, newer and more light airframe . its armament being PL10,PL10 (active radar homing),PL15, ls-6 guided munitions and various other munutions. the aircraft features an advanced avionics suite with a gallium nitride advanced aesa radar with enhanced situational awarness systems and a eots similar to what is found on the j20. ( likely more air to ground oriented compared to what j20 has). this aircraft would make an exellent addition to the chinese air tree and i can see it added by late 2026 , as by the rate gaijin is advancing its not too far until we see stealth fighters.
